generals go into the defense industry and then they sell weapons to their former subordinates at the pentagon. i think that is kind of an abuse of the military profession. similarly, another abuse is when we hire military officers, especially general, to endorse political candidates. i have no problem with joe smith endorsing a political candidate. i do have a problem when it says are major-general joseph smith, retired. he is using his service and his rank for a political purpose. i think that is an abuse of the profession. this takes me back to defense secretary panetta's study. there are a lot of aspects to being a professional. there are very few professions, law, medicine, clergy, military -- the commonality to them is you don't do it for profit. you're supposed to do it for the greater good. if you do it for the money, you become a mercenary. there are a bunch of questions to ask about the military profession, which is the theme of the book, which is what has happened to the military professional, the leader, over the last 50 years in our society. host: a call from texas on the democrat

our pentagon correspondent barbara starr's been watching what's going on. barbara, what is the u.s. military most concerned about right now? >> wolf, as they watch that call-up of 75,000 israeli reservists, that is the concern. is this leading to a ground war? we've talked to officials here who say the major concern israel will move in on the ground. and that will be a significant escalation that will reverberate throughout the region. so here's the calculation. how far will hamas go in continuing its rocketed mortar attacks into israel? they know that if they pull back, the israelis presumably will pullback and this dangerous escalation can be avoided. if there is a ground war, if israeli troops cross that border, the tanks and troops, and go into gaza, the next concern is what egypt will do. egypt's new government very fragile. will it feel the pressure to move? will it come into sanai, all of this now at the end of a long week in washington. >> diplomats in the region and around the world are working hard behind the scenes to stop this from becoming an all-out war. what are you h
